To to take my mind off of all of this nonsense (basically my entire day) I'd like to introduce something even more nonsensical and to invite contributions, including if you like lists of your own. It's a game we've (Big Boy and I) sort of been pl...

I'm totally freaking out

2008-05-14T12:08:34Z

I've just had the boiler fixed. The man's demanding £547 for parts and labour. I've managed to get Big Boy off a conference call to speak to him and I'm totally freaking out. I can't believe this.

Things that aren't working today

2008-05-14T07:31:33Z

Has anyone ever done something so horrible to you that "I'm sorry" couldn't fix it? Or it might be nice to ask: has anyone ever done something so good to you that "thanks" wasn't enough? I'd say yes, quite often, but you can use your imaginati...

QotD: Ghost Stories

2008-05-01T14:08:25Z

Schmuck

2008-04-24T05:20:43Z

I feel like such a schmuck this morning. I'm used to noises outside - they happen every now and then with people coming home drunk, arguments in the street, the mentally disabled guy down the road, or more. I presume that if I go out to check I'...
